Pretty basic SOAP monitor (proxy) that allows you to edit SOAP messages before sending them on. Does not support a proxy (yet).

IBM recently released Milepost GCC (website has styling from 1998 ;), a "compiler which analyses the software and determines which code optimizations will be most effective during compilation using machine learning techniques. Experiments carried out with the compiler achieved an average 18% performance improvement. The compiler is expected to significantly reduce time-to-market of new software, because lengthy manual optimization can now be carried out by the compiler." Related to that is also the Collective Tuning wiki, dedicated to developing self-tuning computing systems.

Looking for petabyte and beyond scale storage? The opensource project Ceph might be an option: it is a distributed network file system designed to provide excellent performance, reliability, and scalability.

Several basic and advanced JPA implementation patterns can be found here.

About Me

I'm a professional software designer/architect/developer with over 20 years of experience. For many years I've been a Technical Team Lead for complex ICT projects. My main area of focus is Java application architectures and related challenges (scalability, performance etcetera), but I'm interested in any software application architecture. Currently Android has got a lot of my attention. I will be posting lessons learned, and lessons that I'll be learning during the coming years :-)
